Roger advances

Roger defeated Maxime Teixeira 6-3, 6-0, 6-2 in his second match at the French Open today.

"It's so difficult to come out and play on a big court when you are not used to it," said Roger of his 22-year-old opponent. "I'm playing here for the 12th year and I'm very experienced."

Our champion was broken once early in the first set but fought back and captured the set after 33 minutes. In the second set Roger found back to his usual strength - securing three breaks and taking the set 6-0. Roger left Teixeira without any chance in the final set and used his third match ball to win his second match in Roland Garros.

Roger is back! Loved it Roger, keep on going. You were a pleasure to watch! Tipsy is always an awkward opponent but he did not know where to start today, you made it look easy.
Thank you, you have made my day. Good luck for the next match, you can do it!
